BIRDSBORO — Two cars crashed in a head-on collision on Water Street Tuesday night due to intoxicated teenagers on their way back from prom. The car crash was staged, but the impact of the annual mock DUI accident deeply resonated within the Daniel Boone community.

As a way to prevent teens from drinking and driving on prom night, Daniel Boone High School took the reigns in demonstrating the risks of drinking and driving.

The scene opened as the community and students of the school witness the mother banging from the inside of her car window, bloody and scared, worried about her children and trying to get out of the vehicle. A drunk teenager emerged from behind the wheel of the pickup truck that caused the crash, confused by what had happened. The pickup truck was filled with three intoxicated teenagers; the car they “hit” was carrying a family of four: mother, father and two young children in the backseat. A bystander called 911 and within minutes the quiet neighborhood was filled with the sirens and flashing lights from the fire department trucks, Pennsylvania State Police cars and ambulances.
